Whenever I see the abandoned houses and cabins, I think of all the work that went into the failed dreams.

Came to Northern Nevada 37 years ago and never left. They say to see the real Nevada get of the highway. Now you know.

Donald, I think this is your best video ever. You had done a fantastic job with your exellent shots and editing. What a peaceful ode to overlanding.

I use to call in the mines in Nevada, it was so interesting going 30, 40, 60 miles off road to visit a customer. Nevada is a special place. There’s more mountain ranges in Nevada than any other state.

Donald so glad you're enjoying Nevada we have been traveling the back roads for many many years exploring and they're always surprised to see what we find. Most people believe Nevada is just a giant desert but they never get to the splendor of the backwards. Nevada is the main reason I put in the 100 gallon fuel tank in the back of my truck. Keep up the good work and enjoy. Trucker G.M.

Having explored most of northern Nevada by 4x4 a must have is the Road & Recreation Atlas for Nevada. It will distinguish the dirt roads by difficulty level so you don't get caught on a road where you don't belong. That said, Nevada has almost the most (in square miles) accessable open land to explore in the U.S. Beautiful country!

Did I just watch your best video to date? Excellent ! I have my fingers crossed that you can get on the trail full time.

The most impressive part to me is how few people you encountered in such a wide open and beautiful place. Great video. Thanks for sharing it with us.

Very enjoyable to watch Donald. As much as I would like to know where exactly this is, don't you tell a soul. It will be great to discover it, just as you have done. Take care fella.

Wow, this was amazing. One of your best episodes. So beautiful.

When you find a camp spot like that with firewood ready to go you know it's meant to be.💥

What a surprise to discover that lake high up in Nevada’s mountains. Gracias for sharing this adventure!👏👏👏

9:41 That’s a job for “Matt’s off road recovery” they can easily handle that.

Donald, brilliant video footage! I lived in Nevada for over 25 years and loved northern Nevada the best. So many great places to see, looking forward to your next Nevada adventure.

Really loved your Nevada trip! Can’t wait to get to some of these beautiful places. Thanks for sharing

People totally underestimate rural Nevada. Once you get out of the Las Vegas region and the Reno/Carson region, it's primarily open land. The high alpine zones are gorgeous and the open dessert is beautiful and mostly empty.

That lake was freaking beautiful!!!! What a perfect end to a long day!!!

The minute you showed the pic of the lake, I knew where it was. Been about 32 years since I was last there but happy it’s still beautiful. Happy trails. Rick

That lake was awesome, I oohed and awed and maybe whimpered just a little watching those raising trout. Couldn’t help think with the remoteness of that lake how willing they might be to take a fly..

My kind of road trip, thank you 🤗

One of our Favorite shows!!!

Stunning scenery...best 20 minutes I've spent in a long time! There are loads of overlander's that I have drifted away from for various reasons but you and Destination Adventure stick with me, you both camp like I do, travel like I do and enjoy very similar things out there...as I do. Keep up the great work Donald...why you don't have double the subs is beyond me.

That is the kind of campsite that you just want to post up at for a few days to enjoy!

Wow! What a beautiful campsite you found. Stunning. Thanks for sharing.

I kinda disagree Don. While 4 wheelin' may not be the MAIN reason watching, I for one like when you show it. That rocky road would have been some great footage. Absolutely beautiful country you discovered here. Thank you!

Hey I subscribed. Super awesome sensory. WOW. Beautiful place. The way you filmed just made it feel that the community was rite their with you like we were a part of this adventure.

Oh my gosh Donald, what a stunner of a trip…. I think I’m going to have to plan a run down the way with the van and kayak. That lake is beautiful and I think I need a little of that place in my life.. thanks for sharing, safe travels friend🤙🏼

Since you said “we’re not here for off-roading content we’re here for beautiful backcountry “ I’m here for both hahaha 😉😂

That looked awesome! That was one of the most scenic trips I think I've seen of your videos. Great job.

I live in NV outside of Reno...i back up to blm desert. Love it here !

Never seen a dirt road that long, so wonderfully graded. Keeps the kidneys safe!

Super super super. I like how you take your time and get beautiful scenery shots. Your drone shots are fabulous. The wildlife shots tell me how important it is to stop and look not just keep driving. I am so excited that you are so enthusiastic in your description of what you are experiencing. Thanks for sharing.

Your superb videography has changed my mental images of Nevada.

Enjoy seeing the wildlife shots you include.

What a fantastic series of videos, I have enjoyed watching your channel now for several years since you had the Subaru, and appreciate your dedication and passion to make your channel and content. It’s great to watch your ever journeys over expanding areas and I really appreciate your style of “no unnecessary drama “ while being genuine in your adventures.

Stunning as always Donald some stunning trails and epic camp grounds.

Absolute Beauty + Total Freedom = Nevada Basin and Range.

Beautiful and very done ...Thank you

Simply Great. What a find.

That's one of the best videos I've seen in a long time.

Great video, I had no idea there was so much amazing stuff to see in Nevada. Your obvious enthusiasm about what you're seeing is telling also.

Thank you for sharing this wonderful trip. That lakeside campsite was the icing on the cake. Gorgeous and serene. It’s exactly the type of place that we hunt for when we go exploring. I’m antsy to get back to doing this but our exploring is on hold until the love of my life publishes his book on Gravity “Why Stuff Falls Down”. I’ve been editing it and we are now waiting for a proof to arrive Monday. Yay! After everything is OK’d I want to get out into the wilds again. Which is ironic because we actually live on 45 acres of wild forest. I think seeing new places is good for the soul. Adventuring is exciting. That, and for me it means new things to paint and draw.

Hello Donald. Your films are always like a short trip to an island full of beauty and peace! Thank you for your work. I am always very happy when people like you can fulfill their passion and pass on their experiences...

Thanks for that Donald. Great video and thanks for sharing. Beautiful landscape

Nevada is home and the most beautiful state!

I lived in northern Nevada for ten years. I loved driving on those mountain roads up high just to see where they go.

Stunningly beautiful. Worth a hammock.

I don’t want my neighbors to think I’m crazy *films them through the bushes 😂😂😂

Nevada is a place where you better have good maps. Signs are few and far between if there ever where signs to begin with. I have spent hours going the wrong way and having to backtrack. Love Nevada back roads!

Hats off to your adventuring spirit mate. You absolutely capture the awe, beauty, and wonder that horizons hold for the human heart. The image at 15:11-15:18 is mesmerizing, it's as if you have reached the end of the world (and no, I am not a flat-earther). So very well done. Cheers!

I love NV. Great state to explore

HI DONALD 👋 BREATHTAKING ! THANK YOU FOR LETTING ME TAG ALONG WITH YOU 🙏 BE SAFE ☺️HAVE FUN 🙏 ☺️ GOD BLESS YOU ALWAYS ON YOUR ADVENTURES 🙏 ☺️ ENJOYED 🙏 ☺️ 🙏

Great adventure indeed. Thanks for sharing and all your hard work in making this great video.

Welcome to Nevada😀 I like to think of it as the lower 48’s mini Alaska. Filled with endless mountains & valleys without the extreme cold temperatures.

Nice job!

Great video 🎉. What a beautiful place 🤩. Makes me want to explore.

You really hit the jackpot with that find

Your best video !

Absolutely wonderful. Who would have thought? Water and life giving vegetation at this high altitude while surrounded by harsher environs. This video illustrates how wild specie survive. Many thanks.

I have traveled on several backcountry roads in Nevada. Checkout the towns of Midas and Tuscarora. What a hidden gem that lake is where you spent the night.

Very peaceful ending, beautiful scenery, and your videography and editing are superb. 😊 Thanks Donald.

Duck, duck, goose…….ok, several geese. Definitely an awesome camp site. We have been enjoying this adventure.

That truck hanging over the edge bears a striking resemblence to one recovered by Matt.

This was great editing. The video was amazing.

This was fabulous! Oh, for a canoe or kayak to explore that gorgeous lake! Fish for dinner...Thank you for your wonderful chronicles.

Keep the place you found secret - its better to not be destroyed.

Now, that's what I call a campground with lake.And trees Instead of that barren desert look

That campsite on that lake is incredible, amazing video, Donald.

Amazing views.

Don't forget to slow down and enjoy the ferry break down was a blessing.

Wonderful video, thanks.

This was the country I grew up in Humboldt County Nevada sheep country ❤

Absolutely amazing 👍

Thanks!

No matter where you go, you are never alone. The eyes are always watching (cue sinister music). 👀👀

Great video and series!

Just realized that you're a neighbor. We should meet for coffee sometime at the MoC on Willamette. That lakeside campsite is a "Pinch me, I'm dreaming gorgeous" and got me looking at satellite maps to figure out where it was.

Another masterpiece! TY!! : )

Those are some rough roads for sure 👍

I'm preparing to retire and overland for a few years (?) and you produced exactly what I need. Thanks!

Good to see you out and about. I guess I'm in the middle of this series, have to back track now.

Cool video. Native Nevadan here living on the central Oregon coast with an average of 70 inches of rain a year, I miss Nevada,

Great video.

I appreciate the effort you put into creating that great video. It was truly enjoyable to watch.

Superb video Donald and amazingly beautiful location. Thanks

I really enjoy the beautiful areas you share, but also the realistic off roading you do. The rock crawling overlanding isn't for me, whereas what you do is exactly what I enjoy. Thanks

Awesome spot!

Beautiful area of Nevada! That lake has been on our list since a local told us about it a couple years ago. Your footage was absolutely stunning!

A good wine with some food by a good camping spot of an amazing lake side, it is your rewards (I wish i could enjoy this view there). A Nissan Pro 4x4 make you much easy to travel such a terrain compared to your Subaru. I still remember you had a camping trip with a Toyota Camry.

OK, makes me want to check out Nevada. That's why we explore! Thanks.

Great job! The last camp site was stunning 👏

a bit further west, west of the Sheldon I believe, there is a place where pheasants are hybridizing with chukar, producing viable offspring.

Very diverse and beautiful areas. Thanks for sharing.

Donald my friend, your best video to date😊 Thanks again!

I shared your video to try to explain to a friend what my plans are, it gives a great overview of roads, your pop-up etc, Great video, thanks so much!

Really enjoyed the video. Thanks.

excellent series!

Another great video, I have enjoyed "riding along" on your adventures

Awesome video

Way Cool. Your editing is spot on. Would love to spend the summer at that lake.
